Evo 2018 - It's called a Ki Blast

[Weltall]

The long blockstrings coupled with Kid Buu's assist is insane. The rate of success in opening up the opponent in that scenario has got to be like >85% lmao.

Has there ever been a current NJPW wrestler getting as much shine in the US as Kenny Omega is now?

I wonder if the official NJPW license means no "APW" with Macho Star Axe Duggan, Bionic Man Steve Majors, Neo Giant Gigaton Joe, etc.

Although I am forever disappointed that the knuckleheads at Spike simply refuse to bring FPW into the '90s and finally make the game 3D. The one 3D FPW they made - the 360 version that uses XBL avatars - didn't even use FirePro game mechanics! So stupid.

Capcom officially dethroned in EVO, DBFZ has surpassed SF5 in entrants. Arcsys also has 3 games in evo, Nintendo has 2, Capcom/NRS/Namco each have 1.

What a time we live in, praise glorious Arcsys.

Tekken X Street Fighter is rumored to be reintroduced at Gamescom.

[Lucavi]

Good, because if Akuma in Tekken is anything to go by, Tekken can do a better modern SF than Capcom.

[Weltall]

That is so sad and true :c

[Elcura]

I wouldn't have thought they needed Tekken 7 for that Tekken x SF hype, but considering how Tekken 7 is doing I'm far more excited for this than I ever was before.

Season 4 SFV rumor: C. Viper, Q, Oro, Necro, and Sodom. The leaker also says that MVCI dlc fighters have been cancelled due to the title's poor performance.

[Weltall]

Can't wait to see how much they have dumbed-down Crimson Viper! /s

[shidobu]

cant fucking wait for the waifu to make a come back

[Deejay]

What a shit list of what will become low tier under played characters, minus Viper.

I hope Sagat is fun.

[Weltall]

Like 2 people total want Necro. Q will be another character that people hype interest in a social media, but then never play.

[octopus]

where's makoto
pls

[Akiyama]

Wonder how many of those entrants for DBFZ will be folks who end up no-showing their brackets at EVO ala SFV's initial EVO and no-shows. Good shit to Tekken/BB. Dunno why Injustice 2 just has to be there at this point, lol

[Lokus]

Maybe NRS is giving Wizard some McRib money to still have the game. Either way, NRS games have shit staying power so it's not unusual.

In other news, EvoJapan will be in Fukuoka, Japan from February 15-17, 2019. It's waaaay the fuck away from Tokyo.

[Moridam]

i have to imagine the location is probably to reduce the chances of eating another multimillion dollar loss on the second go around. if this flops that'll be a wrap for evo japan

[Lokus]

If they still eat a big loss, then it's definitely not a location issue which would put the cause as management of the event being terrible. Lineup wise, I was hoping the first one would showcase more games that didn't make the normal EVO lineup (thanks Smash) but I'm guessing it's going to be the current Evo lineup sans Smash 4, Melee and Injustice which would be replaced with Smash Ultimate, SC VI, and KoF XIV.

ChrisG going ham on people being hypocrites aka Episode 27 of ChrisG being salty about something.

I'll play the shit out of Q and Oro. Fucking love Oro. <3
